Elections...Halloween, Faithful and Time Change.

Don't forget to Fall Back One Hour on Saturday night, here in the States!

Well, good morning, Friends!  I guess by now, you know it's Halloween...lol

We have been a little busier since my eye surgery.  It gets old just doing nothing!  Depressing...and I've certainly felt depressed.  Feelings are hard to digest when all you do is sit or walk around the house.  So many things swirling around in your mind...We have gotten out and I have even begun to drive myself on short errands.  The gas bubble is now gone, thank goodness, but there's a slight, tiny, light gray area in the center of my vision that when I'm looking with both eyes, disappears.  But when I cover my left eye, I can see it...crazy.  My checkup isn't until Nov 21st so, we'll see what Doc says.

I planted this orange mum yesterday...we'll see how long it last.
 

Griselda, the half blind witch, had a slight accident... I'm not too sure she'll be up to Sloane's visit later this evening!

She has Gamma and Gampa thoroughly, wrapped! 

And here's Miss Kitty, on patrol for any little ghost or goblins within her kingdom...She's doing so good!  She is coming into the house, through the dog door, almost constantly, without any prompting from Larry or myself.  I believe she'll do well when Winter comes...  

Larry's been in the shop a lot recently working on Christmas presents.  I love how he decorated these for our tree...

The air fryer has been getting a workout...

                                Thighs and parmesan potatoes.

And chicken wings...

Taco Tuesday at Rosa's

And I must say, Libby the Pug has been my constant companion throughout this whole ordeal...I mean like Velcro! lolol 

Poor sweetie...Animals are so intelligent!  They know...

My Dad was Chief Radioman during WW2...in the Pacific Theater.  I have this telegram from his time aboard the USS Bulmer, two pages with the battles in Germany...various movements...announcements by Gen Eisenhower...How the British captured over 2000 troops    Well, I've been trying to contact the WW2 Museum in New Orleans for ages now to see if they would like my donation...silence.  I don't know who else to contact.  If you do, please let me know...It's newsy and I don't want it lost...It's a treasure.

Well, I suppose I'll wrap things up...Please pray for our country.

Go Vote, if you haven't already.  

God has a plan...no matter what awaits us, stay strong and believe.

So, until next time...

52 Years...Cookies, Boxes and Quesadillas'

 

Good morning, Friends... I don't think we've really done much of anything this past week.  We did celebrate our 52nd Anniversary though.  September 26th.  Lordy...we were so young!  Me 21, Larry 24. 

 I still remember laying on our sofa in our tiny apartment at The Villa Victoria in Waco, Texas...and asking him, "Where do you think we'll be in 50 years?"

He said, "Still in love..."

It's been a road well-traveled.  We've had our ups and downs, like everyone else but we're still here...still together...and, still in love.

Larry and Tom were best buds having met in the Air Force.

Tom's wife always seemed to be the picture taker! lol

But here she is (Beverly) today...Thank goodness we're all still around.  lol   

Tom is now 80 and Bev is 78.

We went to the Cotton Patch for the anniversary lunch...we never tire of chicken fried steak.

Here's a recipe I want to try!  Have you ever made this?  Looks like a good recipe for Christmas.

Larry made me a potpourri box and

a Tuna can juice drainer!  Two different kinds...one that fits just inside the can and one that fits in the can and also, you can turn it over and drain liquids off the veggie cans.  He does these things on his 3-D Printer.  They worked like a charm!

I also made some vanilla cookies with pecans...

This is truly the state of affairs in our Congress! 

My favorite photo of our Sloane...too funny.  She wore that box until it broke! lol

This morning, I made quesadillas...at least for Larry.  I had a locarb tortilla with cheese and egg.

Well guys, guess I'll stop boring you.  Here's praying you all are safe and well... (we just lost our neighbor of 50 years.  He was 87).  SO... stay well, see your doctors...drink that water... and love those close to you because you never know when our time is up.

So... on that positively, negative note...lolol... until next time...
